I finished putting it together and tried a "bench" run.
The first, second, third, fourth pulls were hopeful.
Kept opening the carb needle a little at a time,
until I decided it was flooding. Longest I had it
running was about 3 seconds. 🙁
Then it was lunch time. I haven’t done an actual
compression test on it, but know now that it has
rings on the piston, it’s better!
Right now the little Thor built engine is like the
"God of Blunder"…… perhaps tomorrow it
will be mighty once more?
Prepare to be boarded!
